The case was found by Kate and Sawyer in a pond at the waterfall under some seats in "Whatever the Case May Be". In "Exodus, Part 1" the Marshal was told it would be stowed in the luggage case in the crew cabin. It is not known how it ended up under a passenger seat. Advised to by Michael, Sawyer attempted to force the case open by smashing it into objects and dropping it. Hurley mocked Sawyer's attempts, saying that it was common knowledge Halliburton cases couldn't be opened forcibly. Jack later negotiated the case out of Sawyer's possession after finding out what the case contained. Jack kept possession of the case and key which he kept around his neck. This served as their gun storage for the first season.

After the Swan was found, weapons were stored in the gun vault until Sawyer stole them. The key led Jack to believe there was some magnetic force in the Swan because of its movement. Its current status is unknown as it was last seen inside The Swan a day or two before the station's destruction.
